Edit Online - Windows 8, Office 2013

[rcoyle23]

Good afternoon folks,

I have a Alfresco 4.2d installation that I've been having an issue trying to get resolved involving rejected authentication when trying to use the Edit Online button for Office files.
Behavior is:

On the document page, hit Edit Online.
Office application opens up (Word,Excel,Powerpoint)
Get prompted to authenticate, it pops up the authentication window 3 times then errors out with:
"Sorry, we couldn't open 'http://Alfresco:7070/alfresco/<site>/documentLibrary/<document>'"

This is using Windows 8 Enterprise, Office 2013 Pro Plus with all the Sharepoint modules installed.  Behavior is the same using Chrome 28 and IE 10.

Items tried so far:
Adding site to Trusted Sites
Adding site to Intranet Sites
Modifying the registry with the following keys:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\BasicAuthLevel"
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Internet\BasicAuthLevel”
Installed the Microsoft patch for the Web Folders component (KB907306)

Have you tested this on 4.2.c?
I could never get the sharepoint functionality to work with the SSL that is laid out in the wiki page for implementing it. I ended up just using apache for that (on linux server).

I have another user in the office that has Windows 8 and he's able to access sharepoint on his machine. Mind you we are using 4.2.c.

I originally made the move to 4.2d because I was having problems with the Edit Online button not functioning.  A bunch of the posts I had seen indicated that this functionality was fixed on the d release.  On some level it is, when I had 4.2c, Edit Online didn't do anything, now, it's invoking the Office program, but something is getting lost in the authentication piece.

Additional testing shows the same problem on Windows 7 with Office 2013 as well.  The application launches, prompts for authentication 3 times before indicating that the file cannot be found.

Are you using SSL connection or just the regular non encrypted connection?

[rcoyle23]

I'm using the regular non encrypted connection.

There is another contributor in the community that has created a amp file for the 4.2.c fix from HERE I know that you are using the nightly build. So it may or may not work.

Also when opening from M$ office I believe the documentation says to put in

I don't know if you have tried that or not.
